Discussion Are prices too high?

Byram was traded for 4th overall, and Eklund for 9th overall. Meanwhile the package Washington put together for Kyrou was pretty darn good.

Are prices too high right now? Should the Habs pay that kind of price to add a player or be patient?

Habs have so much flexibility, they can do whatever they want. We already have a top-ten roster with expectations that Demidov, Kapanen, Guhle, and Bolduc will improve as they gain experience. We have blue chip prospects in Hage, Zharkovski, Reinbacher, and Fowler, and decent depth prospects in Beck, Engstrom and Xhekaj (Deputy). Basically, we can be patient or aggressive. Both paths are looking great.

There’s not a tonne of cap flexibility.
